Teachers, librarians, and advisors are the greatest resource to improve the teaching and learning of history. National History Day’s high-quality classroom resources, professional development opportunities, and guidance are here to support your efforts to teach research skills and advise NHD students.

Ah, the grand tapestry of history awaits! Students can delve into a myriad of captivating topics, such as:

1. Ancient Civilizations: Unearth the secrets of Egypt’s pyramids, Rome’s gladiators, or the enigmatic Indus Valley.
2. Revolutionary Movements: From the American Revolution to the French Revolution, explore the winds of change that shaped nations.
3. Inventors and Innovators: Meet the brilliant minds behind inventions like the printing press, steam engine, or light bulb.
4. Trailblazing Women: Celebrate the unsung heroines who defied norms and left their mark on history.
5. War and Conflict: Dive into the trenches of World War I or the strategic maneuvers of World War II.
6. Cultural Renaissance: From the Harlem Renaissance to the Italian Renaissance, discover artistic and intellectual rebirths.
7. Local Legends: Investigate local history—perhaps a forgotten shipwreck off the coast or a legendary outlaw.

Remember, history isn’t just facts; it’s the heartbeat of humanity!
